I am also riding around with one of these car magnets on each side of my car. I have no idea what people will think, but I am hoping someone will be interested enough to take a closer look. When they are retired from my car, they will go on our fridge *:)

Just as the last leaves fall, a mother bear leads her cubs to the den she has carefully chosen.

Winter is coming and the reluctant cubs are nudged gently to their safe haven.

This new layout I used earlier is an experiment. I may want to change to it at some point but not just yet. I wanted to keep my link lists, and be able to change the background color. Those elements are not available for the newer template design. Hopefully blogger will address that issue in the near future.

This summer I painted a number of oversized posters for the children's summer theater camp in our town.This is a study for one of the posters. If I was still doing silk screening this would be a perfect piece for that medium.

This week I decided to take the plunge and add a showcase of sorts to my Children's Illustrators portfolio site. As part of the Talent pool I am pleased to feature Gunther the Underwater Elephant as a lead in to my portfolio. I updated the portfolio portion with some of the images from the book that I am allowed to display.

This is my week on the Talent Pool of Children's Illustrators. I chose to feature, (who else?) Gunther the Underwater Elephant as the main event. The Talent Pool is designed to show off the many illustrators that are featured on Children's Illustrators' portfolio website. The illustrators choose a week and reserve it with a small fee. The idea is hoped to generate interest in the artist for future assignments.

Gunther is special for me because it is the first of several books I have not only illustrated but written as well. Others are in the wind, or wings, waiting to be launched over the next few years.

Welcome to my Journal

Welcome to my illustrator's journal. This is a glimpse into the world I inhabit most of the day. I live at the top of a hill near the edge of a forest.
There is a magic wand on my desk and a dragon in my basement.
